Re: strpos error (I'm missing something obvious)

Frankly, I use preg_match() for this type of thing. It's simpler and foolproof. The difference in speed is negligible. <?php // The "i" after the pattern delimiter '%' indicates a case-insensitive search if (preg_match("%$site%i", $referer)) {

    echo $referer;

} else {

    echo "A match was not found.";

} ?> Kevin Murphy wrote:

Overly simplified version of my code. $site = "http://www.wnc.edu"; $referer = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];

echo $referer;    // the output is correct at: http://www.wnc.edu/test/

if (strpos($referer,$site) === TRUE) {

    echo "yes";

} Why doesn't it echo out "yes"? I know I am doing something stupid here, but it doesn't seem to work .... :-)
